Enough already. The reason you play the game is to win the game. PJ has to have a game plan revolving around "winning the game" vs "not losing the game". Open up the offense giving our QB an opportunity to show his stuff. Give our D some tough pills this week and the schemes to perform. Remind...

Let's worry about the Hawkeyes first! The Husker game demonstrated that we can play winning football if we have our heads screwed on straight and play with controlled emotion, meaning do your assignment called for by the coaches.

Did anyone notice that #87 lined up as a blocking fullback when Darius would go his right; that made three TE's in the game at once. Use against Iowa???

You're right Maxy, my bad.

Looks like semis on 11/13 @ USB could be EP vs Rosemount/Tonka and Maple Grove vs Lakeville South.

USB Stadium has a big name concert the same night as the game. I would suggest using the Blue line from MOA very early and do some research on a pre game eating/drinking venue; there are a bunch within walking distance of the USB station. Then walk back to the USB station and take the Green...

Win the next one. Purdue. Worry about Nebby after the W.

When a friend of mine and I went to the 9/5 EP @ Maple Grove game they had the youth league participants there to create a line for the Varsity players to go through before the game started. The announcer said that there were 700+ participants, 700 hundred! MG is building a dynasty if they can...

I attended the EP@MG game and the EP@Tonka game. I agree that MG at this point in the season is the best. I don't know if Tonka can rely on one person, despite a very good OL. How many times can a high school athlete, as good as he is, go for rushing 267 yards, whereas EP used at least six RB's...

My old ball coach in the late sixties, an ex Marine before he started to coach, always said "that's the reason you play the game", meaning that newpaper columnists, pundits, fans can write or talk about the game, but the outcome is determined on the field by the players. He also was a proponent...

The Maple Grove vs Minnetonka game at the end of the regular season should be a really interesting high school football tilt. 6A looks like Maple Grove and Minnetonka are the cream of the crop with EP, Shakopee, Rosemount, Lakeville South pick em's. Playoffs this year should display great HS...

The game between EP and Minnetonka was a classic. Huge crowd. Stands were full. Standing area near concessions five deep. Hill leading to visitors side completely filled. The game was an old fashioned smash mouth game. Minnetonka threw a pass early from their #2, it was picked off and that was...
